๐ Eid al-Adha 2025: Meaning, Qurbani Rules, Dates, and How to Donate Online
What is Eid al-Adha?
Eid al-Adha, also known as the Festival of Sacrifice, is the second and holier of the two major Islamic Eids. It honors the prophet Ibrahimโs (AS) willingness to sacrifice his son Ismail (AS) as an act of obedience to Allah โ before Allah provided a ram to sacrifice instead.
This profound act is remembered and re-enacted by millions of Muslims through the ritual of Qurbani (Udhiya).
When is Eid al-Adha 2025?
Eid al-Adha 2025 is expected to begin on the evening of Sunday, June 8, 2025, depending on the sighting of the moon.
The Qurbani sacrifice takes place between 10 Dhul Hijjah and 12 Dhul Hijjah โ i.e., from June 8 to June 10(tentative).
What is Qurbani (Udhiya)?
Qurbani, also called Udhiya, is the ritual sacrifice of an animal (usually a goat, sheep, cow, or camel) during Eid al-Adha. Itโs a symbolic act that honors the devotion of Prophet Ibrahim (AS) and is performed by Muslims who meet specific criteria.
Qurbani Animal Rules:
Must be one of the approved animals: goat, sheep, cow, camel.
Should be healthy and free from defects.
Must meet age requirements (e.g., sheep at least 1 year, cows at least 2 years).
Slaughter must follow Islamic guidelines (Zabiha).
Who Should Give Qurbani?
Qurbani is obligatory (wajib) for every Muslim who is sane, adult, and financially able (possesses the Nisab amount โ equivalent to the value of 87.48 grams of gold or 612.36 grams of silver).
How is Qurbani Meat Distributed?
The meat from Qurbani is divided into three equal parts:
One-third for your family
One-third for relatives and friends
One-third for the poor and needy
Itโs a beautiful way to share blessings and ensure that everyone can enjoy Eid.
